Envoys are just a way to funnel more of our money to the welfare-state Pali regions while the Arab countries stand by, watch approvingly and wonder just exactly how stupid we are.
We should not send anyone or any funds over to Gaza and the West Bank until the Palis fully accept Israel and its right to exist in that region. We have done this experiment time and time before and know exactly what the outcome will be: our money gets wasted on weapons, more people get killed and no positions are changed.
I agree completely, aid should be contingent on joining the civilized world. We shouldn't be supporting their hate media or arming their terrorists.
The starting point for Mitchell is for the Israelis and Palestinians to put their peace plan on the table starting with the recognition of each other.
